RE:big week?
Tough to say. This does not react like a normally traded issu....if there is such a thing. You have your day, week, momentum, swing and position traders who work only for the small (relative to the big picture) percentage moves. Then theres the long termers, who don`t trade their positions or have a small trading position`to flip. So basically at each price level old money goes out and new money comes in, that will only takes us to a few bucks. Then the hard money funds etc take over but that still will only get you cyclic highs. If your the hard core here, you dont care about the day to day, because you want to see what a buy out brings, either through a bidding war or one time offer, or you hold for future potentiate earnings via licensing etc etc.
My view of the inevitable, once its usage is fully proven out (which may be now to some potential acquisitors) and they are satisfied, a material bid will emerge. Once this bid is made public, another should appear and yet another I suspect. All trying to outdo each other. We can sit back and watch the fireworks knowing full well that nothing less than a paradigm technology shift will occur and a control of a global market so large will be the prized pig.
Whether a purchase is perceived as being a "friendly" one or a "hostile" depends significantly on how the proposed acquisition is communicated to and perceived by the target company's board of directors, employees and shareholders. It is normal for M&A deal communications to take place in a so-called "confidentiality bubble" wherein the flow of information is restricted pursuant to confidentiality agreements.[3] In the case of a friendly transaction, the companies cooperate in negotiations; in the case of a hostile deal, the board and/or management of the target is unwilling to be bought or the target's board has no prior knowledge of the offer. Hostile acquisitions can, and often do, ultimately become "friendly", as the acquiror secures endorsement of the transaction from the board of the acquiree company. This usually requires an improvement in the terms of the offer and/or through negotiation.
